Now I’m thinking I need pay more attention to hydration and heat. I’ve always been careful but probably should do more. I’ll check Craigslist to see what you have.

Thanks for commenting and giving some additional information. I appreciate it!

I’ve heard the K75 is a “hot” ride but so far I’ve seen none of that. Usually, the story is that the gas tank gets hot but I’ve not experienced that.

Jack Riepe keeps telling me the K75 is mechanical perfection and the best motorcycle to ever grace the road. So there’s no way it would be hot!

I’ve definitely considered a photo book. It’s on my list but there are two other books in front of it. I’ll get to it someday!

I’ve heard about people like you Don. It’s a good trait to have I suppose for someone living in central Texas.

Its been a while since we’ve had temperatures over 100. I won’t be venturing out on those days. The forecast shows some cooling down toward the low 80s. That’s tolerable but I confess a desire for low 70s down to 60. Probably won’t find those until autumn.

Thanks for stopping to comment. Always appreciate a different perspective.

Photographers seem to complain a lot about sunny days.

Thanks for your kind words about the post. I worry sometimes about complaining too much.

I took a look at the CompCooler website. Interesting devices. I tend to be gear adverse beyond the bare minimum safety stuff. Resisted electric gloves for years. Not sure if I’m ready for something like this. I’m more likely to just not ride when it’s hot. In Georgia that might be a longer-term problem than it is here in Pennsylvania.

Still, it’s something to consider if I find myself riding more in the summer heat. I appreciate you sharing the information.

Be safe on the road! Stay cool!!

I have no need to experiment with more heat. I’ll leave such research to you thin-blooded Southerners.

Riding into Dodge City. Sounds like something right out of Gunsmoke. Hopefully, Miss Kitty served the frozen margarita!

Heatstroke is no joke. Deadly serious. Glad you were there to help the failing scooterist. Karma will reward you. And yes, the moral of the story is exactly right. Stop and get out of the heat.
